The visit follows an appearance by Biden this past weekend in South Carolina, another critical early primary state. Biden, a frontrunner in early presidential polls, has been ramping up his midterm campaign appearances in recent weeks.

In first-in-the-West Nevada, Biden has endorsed Rep. Jacky Rosen for U.S. Senate, Steve Sisolak for governor and Aaron Ford for state attorney general, among other Democrats.

Biden also campaigned in 2016 for Hillary Clinton in Nevada in her winning campaign against Donald Trump in the state.
